It was such a pleasure to deal with…
It was such a pleasure to deal with Pascal. He was very helpful in advising us on the best safari for our large group of 11. He organised both the safari and transport to and from Gondwana. Pascal was always contactable and promptly responded to all my questions. Can't thank him enough. We are all looking forward to our visit to South Africa.
